and RSS feeds of specific FOSS projects?
also very revolutionary idea:
RSS feeds of FOSS-related Lemmy communities
people already did, many times
and then the original repo's issue tracker is full of issue where people say that they have made a fork
and no consesus on which of these forks is to be blessed a go-to successor
so currently we have an outdated repo and a lot of fragmentation among successors.
this repo has been stale for years now
and despite Lee still being active in GitHub circles, he ignores the issue and refuses to invite other maintainers or even change ownership of the repo to someone else or some group of maintainers.
depends on your instance lol
the one that I am using is working juat fine
while fosstodon was down a few minutes ago
so the beauty of Mastodon is that it will fully down only arond the time that whole internet goes down
Top Hat from Monopoly joins the black side. It also brings two houses, one hotel and a Get Out Of The Jail Free card.
This is related to the problem that I have with these alternative frontends.
Instances might go down and suddenly all the links that you shared around are now dead.
Which is why I am extremely grateful to the developer and maintainer of Farside.link
It's a thing that has a list of frontend instances and redirects to one of them.
So links stay alive even if specific frontend instance goes down.
But it still doesn't fully solve this problem.
What if farside.link goes down? making a redirect between different Farside intances (lol I am not aware of any other instances, just developer's one) just moves the issue one layer up.
Solution here is most likely something decentralized. Not sure if blockchain or not, but probably blockchain.
Something that will keep the top-level redirecting service always working.
Is it some Ethereum smart contract? Is it something on IPFS? I don't know. Someone smarter than me will have to figure this out.
What?
Isn't this MastodonUserCount?
That counts just Mastodon users?
And the spike is because of Twitter rate limit?
And why am I first to point this out?
yay social commentary
Numbers are up

But it is still not as big of a migration as the one that happened in November.
Heard of FunkWhale? The open source, federated audio platform?
